Hope you, Pup and the Yankee have a safe cross country trip. Enjoy your journey. I know you are looking forward to getting to Portland and your new home. Bon voyage.

Go Girl Go!!!

A change is a good as a rest.

You'll be fine as long as you don't let Pup hang his head out of the car window - grit is not good

Lucky travels and post asap so we know you all made it

Enjoy a safe journey, Scarlett! I look forward to reading about your adventures once you settle in Portland. Pup could be a real asset in your drive across the country... perhaps you could film a few episodes of Pup the Driving Dog ((&)) along the way.

Safe travels, Scarlett. May I suggest you just follow a trail of Zingerman's bread crumbs....?

Hello, all! Scarlett has asked me to post the following interim trip report:

"We are in Nebraska. The Yankee continues to drive like a maniac but most drivers recognise it and get out of our way. We should arrive in Portland Sat. (We left Tues.)

Pup is enjoying the ride, since a nice hotel suite and a pig's ear await him at the end of a long day in the car.
Today he saw a bison and a small camel and was thrilled.

More later."

Scarlett darlin!

Happy, happy travels! Best wishes bumping along with you every mile! Before you reach Portland, sample some of Oregon's up-and-coming new great wines!

Thanks Marilyn! Nebraska. I'd been wondering how far along in their route they were. I had them starting Monday afternoon so that's a big of a set back to my mental route progress. Drat. What a trip--gives a whole new appreciation to how vast this country is I'll bet.

I was thinking the same thing... a camel??? lol! That is the great thing about road trips. You never know what you will come across!

Marilyn--Thanks for posting this!

Scarlett--Hope the rest of the trip is safe also. Looking forward to having you here soon!

If you read carefully, it said that PUP saw the bison and the small camel and was thrilled - so maybe we have to ask HIM!!!

I'm hoping for a photo essay. "Pup on the road." Fabulous photos of Pup posing with the bison, the camel, the big ball of string...

I hope Pup's mom coordinated his outfits so he'll look posh too.

LOL, Trish.

Maybe Pup saw the bison with a small pack of camel cigs??? Maybe Pup's brain is joggled from the Yankee driving so fast! Man, they are haulin' the mail, they'll be there tomorrow!

Zoom, zoom.

I'm glad to hear Scarlett's & family are doing well.

Driving through that part of the country you see all sorts of signs for things like "Live five-legged steer!" and "See a two-headed rattlesnake, next exit!" so who know what kind of mutant camel this may have been...

I think they're delirious from the hours in the car...maybe it was a horse with scoliosis??
